privacy policy
Client confidentiality is always of
paramount importance for us at TLS. Growing from
our experience with businesses, often competing
within the same industry or market, we understand
the high level of trust that must exist in our relationships
with our clients. That trust is never taken lightly
whether we provide Internet access to businesses
or individuals and families.
With that in mind, we wish to post
our policy concerning Internet privacy and the use
of any information gathered in the normal course
of our operations.
On certain pages such as classified
pages, or merchandise inquiry pages, we allow users
the option to provide us with names, addresses,
phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses.
This information is never gathered without the knowledge
or active participation of the client/user. Furthermore,
information gathered in this fashion is solely for
the purpose of responding to our clients concerning
a sale or request which they themselves initiate.
Information provided to us (email
address, phone or fax number) may be used to facilitate
direct correspondence between us and our client.
Information we gather, and/or information
volunteered to us, is never divulged, distributed
or shared in any fashion. This includes the publication
of directories and email lists and is the reason
that TLS, unlike most Internet services, does not
post a directory of subscribers. Under no circumstances
is information provided to, or shared with, third
parties, even if that information is already publicly
available through other sources.
We do collect aggregate information
site-wide, including anonymous site logging statistics,
IP addresses and domain names. Some information,
such as activity logs for email and file transfer,
are discarded after review, and no attempt is made
to discover or monitor these communications.
Other information, such as machine
addresses, time and duration of activity, and the
titles of pages which have been visited, may be
retained to generate aggregate statistics about
our service and the gauge the activity at our clients'
web sites.
